The record

Purpose: Charios is a browser-based 2D character animation tool that applies motion-capture clips to layered character art.
Automatic layering: The tool detects alpha islands in an image and exports body parts as transparent layers ready to rig.
Rigging: Charios uses a fixed 17-bone humanoid skeleton and assigns character sprites to bones.
Mocap: Users can retarget bundled motion-capture clips or bring their own .bvh or .fbx files.
Animation preview: The 3×3 anim-check grid displays nine clips at once for checking a character's animation.
Integrations and exports: Exports include an animated GIF, Unity prefab, Godot scene, or Unreal Engine actor.
Export processing: Exports are bundled and downloaded in the browser; the page says character art does not leave the browser during export.
Security and storage: The privacy policy says account and project metadata is stored in Supabase Postgres and uploaded PNGs in Cloudflare R2, scoped per user via row-level security.
Data controls: Users can delete their account and projects from the dashboard or email Charios to request a data export.
Support: Charios lists community, email, and in-editor bug reports as support channels, and says email responses arrive within 24 hours on business days.
Device support: The editor requires a modern desktop browser with WebGL 2; mobile supports project viewing and animation preview only.
Audience: Charios describes its audience as indie game developers, solo artists and animators, game-jam teams, and marketing or design teams.
Project limit: The Free plan includes three active projects; Pro and Studio list unlimited projects.
Price from: $20/mo
